Spray Transfer
Carbon steel 95-98% Ar/2-5% O2 Improves arc stability; produces a more fluid and controllable puddle; good
coalescence and bead contour; minimizes undercutting; permits higher speeds than pure argon.
90-92% Ar/8-10% CO2 High-speed mechanized welding; low-cost manual welding; pulsed welding.
Low alloy steel 98% Ar/2% O2 Minimizes undercutting; provides good toughness.
Short Circuiting Transfer

Carbon steel CO2 Broad penetration; reduces chances of porosity.
75% Ar/25% CO2 High welding speeds without burn-through; minimum distortion and spatter.
Ar/5-10% CO2 Deeper penetration; faster welding speeds.
Low alloy steel 60-70% He/25-35% Ar/4-5% CO2 Minimum reactivity; excellent toughness; excellent arc stability,
wetting characteristics, and bead contour; little spatter.
75% Ar/25% CO2 Fair toughness; excellent arc stability, wetting characteristics and bead contour; little spatter.

Use the tables below to estimate the quantity of Where:
filler metal required for horizontal fillet welds, W is the weight of the wire consumed e.g., D=[(Area of groove x Length of groove x
and square groove and V-groove butt joints. In D is the weight of the steel deposited* 0.283) + Reinforcement (if applicable)]
cases where joint information differs from the L is the total amount of wire losses
tables, simply substitute your numbers in the To determine D, calculate the area of the groove Table data for square and V-groove
following formula: multiplied by the length; then multiply the result joints are based on the efficiency of
W=D by 0.283, the volume-to-weight conversion factor stick electrodes. To calculate for flux-
for steel. If weld reinforcement is involved, be cored wires, divide D by .80; for solid
(1-L)
sure to add this amount into your calculation, wire, divide D by .90.
